Comments on How to Get Him to Propose

Well, my moyfriend and I have been together for 15 wonderful months. I know that we will be married one day. We've talked about it and the issues that are important to consider before marriage. He doesn't feel like he is financially ready to get married however. I've expressed that whatever financial issues he has, we can work out together, but he still hasn't expressed that he is ready. All I can do is pray and believe that God is working everything out. i get a little impatient at times, but God doesn;t always work on our time. All the ladies that are in the same boat as I am, just stay encouraged. Don't try to figure out what you can do to get your men to marry you. Instead, give it to God and trust he is already wroking things out.

I've been with my boyfriend of 6 years and he's absolutly amazing. He treats me so well and we've been high school sweethearts. Although we are both still young (23) and he is about to graduate college in the spring, I feel it is time for us to be engaged. We talk about marriage all the time, but he keeps telling me he wants to be financially stable when he gets his job. I completely understand but I am DYING for an engagement. It seems all my friends are engaged or already married, and we've been together the longest... go figure. I am going to try and use some of this advice, do things more on my own and distance myself a little. I think that is really great advice. I told him i'd like to be engaged before Summer '08. Please cross your fingers for me! :)

I am 25 and by no means in a hurry to marry. I feel like I am traditional and do seek the commitment from my bf of 8 mo. We have spent nearly every night together for the past 4-5 months and I recently pushed him away. Everyone around me seems to be getting engaged and married and I cannot handle hearing how perfect we are, but not seeing the commitment. I fear he is scared and is just telling me how much he loves me and wants to be with me forever to appease me. I do not even bring the subject up and he will constantly tell me how he wants to spend every day with me for the rest of his life. Well, if he feels that strong and puts those thoughts into my head, then why doesn't he act on it. I'm torn and fear he is full of it and am considering leaving him to avoid finding ourselves at the 4 year mark and me wasting my time.

Just wondering how Star80 got on after justifiably worrying about her 4 year relationship without a proposal. Has he proposed yet?? I think a guy has to see, you've value on yourself, you won't wait around forever, and you have a life.

Ditto!I don't know what 2do,I just wish I could go back 2how it was @the start.I'd always thought about marriage but once we'd been 2gether 18months(4months ago)it's suddenly become something I think about ALL the time(doesn't help that some of my friends r getting engaged & theres always weddings in the news).I've done all the subtle things &even had a chat about it but he just doesn't c what the hurry is.I'm sure we r perfect 4each other &I wish I could b more patient but the more I dwell on it I start 2worry that maybe he doesn't want 2keep me(when he's insisting that he does).I don't want 2rush down the aisle I just want the commitment that comes with engagement-the security of knowing that he's as serious about having a future 2gether as I am.I want a long engagement so I can be 200% sure I am making the right decision-only want 2get married once &want it 2be forever.

I have tried everything. We have gone on many vacations. We get along very well and have a geat sex live. We do not live together, I have my own life. I am intelligent, good looking, and I get along with his familiy. I have made it clear that it is what I wan't and I have tried backing off and not mentioning it. We have been together for 4 years and I am not getting any younger. I wan't to be with him. I don't know what else to do?

I have tried backing off, I don't live with him and I have my own life. I have been with him for four years. We never fight, sex is great, and we trust each other. I am very attractive, intelligent and I get along with his family. Yet, I am still waiting. And I have made it clear that it is what I want. I don't know what else to do????

I'm not the most patient person in the world, but I learned that the more pressure you put, the less likely for the guy to propose. Leave him to it. Let him think things out instead. I stopped even mentioning the idea of marriage to my boyfriend, and soon enough, he was the one to bring up the topic, and he was the one to suggest ring shopping. Men do things all in their own time. Just love 'em.. They'll marry you when they're ready.

So we've been together for more than two years and in principle we've talked about that we'd like to marry some day and have kids. I also made it clear that I want HIM to propose 'properly'. However, nothing is happening even though there were plenty of opportunities. Sometimes I'd just like to know whats going on inside his head and why he isn't asking me...

these are great tips, if the guy you want to marry has already been thinking of marrying you. if not, he will feel way too much pressure. if he truely loves you, and wants to be with you, he WILL propose, and needs NO help. make sure not to pressure him, or you will lose him.
